A big thank you to the participants and generous donors of the first ESCP Fundraising Gala in London. An astonishing total of £220,000 was raised which will contribute greatly to the ESCP Scholarship Programme.

Over 100 guests gathered at the Four Seasons Park Lane for a wonderful evening sponsored by Ondra Partners and New End Associates: a  reception with champagne premier cru Frerejean Frères followed by a gourmet autumn dinner.

The auction led by Adrian Biddel, spurred great interest for the wonderful lots donated by Pierre Guénant (72), Olivia de Posson (06), Jean-Pierre Raffarin (72), Christian Marti  (93) and W. Salamoon & Sons.

Around 15 alumni pledged their support to the ESCP Scholarship Programme for the equivalent of 8 years of study or a total amount of £120,000.

This was an unprecedented demonstration of the unity and the dynamism of our Alumni network, turned into powerful action. It shows its ability to support the School’s growing momentum, as it forges a path to become the number one business school in Europe with a truly global reach.

In the name of the Scholarship Students, and all of the ESCP community, thank you!
